Maria Khaleel (M.A. in Biblical Literature, 2002)
is senior pastor of New Life AG, Pembroke Pines, Fla., which
she planted in 1992.

A multicultural congregation with 30 nationalities represented,
New Life runs approximately 700 in attendance. About 80%
of these are new converts.

Khaleel was the first woman elected presbyter in the Peninsular
Florida District, and she continues to serve in that capacity.
She has also been a member of the AG National Evangelism
Committee and the AG’s national Task Force for Women
in Ministry.

Khaleel’s burden for revival—a “fresh
Pentecost”—has taken her across the United States
to preach at revivals, camp meetings, district events and
seminars.
